A readers’ poll that is very close to my heart is the Preditors and Editors Readers’ Poll. For 2016, Vampire Princess of New York finished in the Top 10 for Best Romance Novel.

Why do I hold this poll in such high regard? For several reasons:
1. It’s hosted on the Critters.org site, where I started as an author studying science fiction and fantasy years ago. It is a wonderful educational site and members engage in critiquing. I always say if you can survive the critiquing at Critters, you must be an author. It’s going to make you a better writer by leaps and bounds. This site where science fiction, fantasy, and horror authors train via workshops was founded and is operated by former Vice President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc., Dr. Andrew Burt.

2. There is no entry fee, so all authors start out on equal footing. I know many authors who don’t enter contests simply because they cannot afford the fees.

3. It’s a readers’ poll. The readers decide and that’s so exciting!

Thank you if you voted for Vampire Princess of New York. I’m so thrilled and typing passionately on the next book in the Arnhem Knights of New York series.
